Tekton Double Impacts

Anybody out there heard these??

I have dedicated audio room 14.5x20.5x9 ft.  Currently have Marantz Reference CD/Intergrated paired to Magnepan 1.7's with REL T-7 subs.  For the vast majority of music I love this system.  The only nit pick is that it is lacking/limited in covering say below 35 hz or so.  For the first time actually buzzed the panel with an organ sacd. Bummer.  Thought of upgrading subs to rythmicks but then I will need to high pass the 1.7's.  Really don't want to deal with that approach.

Enter the Double Impacts.  Many interesting things here.  Would certainly have a different set of strengths here.  Dynamics, claimed bottom octave coverage in one package, suspect a good match to current electronics.

I've read all the threads here so we do not need to rehash that.  Just wondering if others out there have FIRST HAND experience with these or other Tekton speakers

Thanks.

Thanks for the great feedback.

I’m well aware that an AVR is not the best possible solution, but unfortunately my setup resides in the living room, which the Mrs usually occupies, so a dedicated 2 channel amp hasn’t been a huge priority. Most of my listening gets done on headphones these days.

Hey there @kristofa, did you ever upgrade to the MOABs, or you still have the DIs?

Hey @bstatmeister ! Great to hear from you! I didn’t upgrade to the Moabs and think perhaps an upgrade in home is required before upgrading to Moabs, so I am still rock in’ my DI’s.

We’re you able to pick up a pair of Tektons yet?

Oh man, I still have not pulled the trigger, although still drooling at the prospect. The listening session I had with you was still the best I've ever had. No need to look for any another speaker - The DI are the ultimate for me. (I think the MOAB would just be too much, as in too much $$ and too big in the living room) A nice pair of White DIs are probably the biggest I could get away with. Hoping this day comes sooner rather than later (+ I know Eric is going to be raising prices at some point)
